Psaume 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 27:11

Teach me thy way, O Lord
Of providence, grace, and duty; (See Gill on Psalms 25:4);

and lead me in a plain path:
as the path of truth is to those that understand and find knowledge; and as the way of holiness is, even to such who in other things are fools, but shall not err therein, ( Proverbs 8:9 ) ( Isaiah 35:8 ) ; or the path of righteousness, in which Christ, the wisdom of God, and shepherd of his people, leads them, ( Psalms 23:3 ) ( Proverbs 8:20 ) ;

because of mine enemies,
or "those that observe me"; who eyed him as Saul did, ( 1 Samuel 18:9 ) ; and waited for his halting, as Jeremiah's familiars did for him; and lay in wait to deceive him, and lead him out of the way, as false teachers do; and come upon him at an unawares, and take every advantage against him, as Satan does.

Psaume 27:11 In-Context

9 Ne me cache pas ta face! Ne rejette pas ton serviteur dans ton courroux! Tu as été mon aide; ne me délaisse pas, ne m'abandonne pas, Dieu de mon salut!
10 Quand mon père et ma mère m'auraient abandonné, l'Éternel me recueillera.
11 Éternel, enseigne-moi ta voie, et me conduis dans le droit chemin, à cause de mes ennemis.
12 Ne me livre pas au désir de mes adversaires; car de faux témoins et qui ne respirent que violence, se sont élevés contre moi.
13 Ah! si je n'avais cru que je verrais les biens de l'Éternel dans la terre des vivants!
